I just wonder what will the next Mac OS be and why will it be the most advanced OS ever [editline]27th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=gman003-main;31370288] Overall, Apple doing this is a dick move, but I'm not surprised by it - Apple's always been dicks.[/QUOTE] On the other hand they seem to largely serve hipsters. We all know how mainstream backwards compatibility is.

So I switched from XP over to W7 last month after 4 years of XP usage. At first, W7 felt like an utter cluster-fuck, but now if I were to install XP on a VM I would hate it. W7 just feels so much better.

Yeah let us not argue about Mac vs PC, kind of stupid if you ask me.
No, Gman, in the wider sense of the term. It's still a personal computer. PC usually means (meant?) IBM PC -like computer. It was the dominant (only?) PC available and it was literally named PC so it was just called PC. All these other manufacturers then started copying IBM PCs because they were kind of modular (still are nowadays) and eventually it came to where it is now. Here's the catch: Technically now that Macs are compatible with IBM-compatible PCs, they are IBM-combatible PCs and may be called PCs as much as they may be called Macs. Therefore, Macs are a subset of PCs. [editline]27th July 2011[/editline] Someone check my facts for me please, I'm working on memory here.

I believe BIOS is one of the few things that separates Macs from completely IBM-compatible devices. Then again, aren't SSDs technically IBM-incompatible, too, as well as all sorts of GPUs :v:

(I don't know these things).
Well, I'd assume none of the original IBM PC boards had SATA I'm bad at knowing things
